The necessity for decrease in consumption of conventional fuel, related energy and to promote the use of renewable sources such as biofuels, demands for the effective evaluation of the performance of engines based on laws of thermodynamics. Energy, exergy, entropy generation, mean gas temperature and exhaust gas temperature analysis of CI engine using diesel and karanja methyl ester blends at d...

We conducted energy and exergy analyses of an adsorption chiller to investigate the effect recooling-water temperatures on cooling capacity Coefficient Performance (COP) with variable cycle modes. investigated both temperature dead state destruction in components. Our results show that there is optimum reheat mode for each range. For basic single stage cycle, mainly accrued desorber (49%), foll...

The mathematical model to predict the performance and the exergetic efficiency in a multi-effect desalination system with thermal vapor compression (MED-TVC system) has been presented. The energy and the concentration conservation law were developed for each effect, considering the boiling point elevation and the various thermodynamic losses by developing the mathematical models. These analyses...

Exergy analysis of an integrated molten carbonate fuel cell-turbo expander-steam turbine hybrid cycle has been presented in this study. The proposed cycle has been used as a sustainable energy approach to provide a micro hybrid power plant with high exergy efficiency. To generate electricity by the mentioned system, an externally reformed molten carbonate fuel cell located upstream of the combi...

In this communication, a study has been carried out to evaluate the life cycle cost analysis and carbon credit earned by hybrid PV/T solar water heater. The study has been based on thermal, electrical and exergy output of water heater. The solar water heater is installed at Solar Energy Park, IIT Delhi. The annual energy and exergy gain have been evaluated by considering four types of weather c...

It is difficult to fully satisfy the energy demand of today’s society with renewables. Nevertheless, most of the energy we use is lost as non-functional waste energy, whereas a large part of the built environment’s energy demand is only for low-quality energy, so the initial demand for primary, high-quality energy can be reduced by more effective usage, such as by low-exergy means. Gaining insi...
